I woke up

A while back, I wrote about what a charmed life I lived.(Tornado in my head 04/08/2011)
I felt like I was in a dream; Beautiful wife, beautiful home, living my passion (bicycles) working in a bike shop, in all loving life and wondering if it were all a dream. I work up 3 months ago. No beautiful house, no beautiful wife, no job, what to do? Having extreme difficulties making ends meet on my meager unemployment checks...Sunk. Feeling pretty low.
Now is the time to re-invent myself. I can do what ever I want to. Live where ever I want, be with who ever I want. Someone to love, me nurture me, adore me. That was something that I did not get from the beautiful wife of mine.
Each day gets better, I am climbing out from under my rock, talking to more people, reaching out, seeking support. More importantly riding a lot more (300mi in January!) and taking my meds nearly every day!
As I backed out of my driveway the other day, I noticed that my rear view mirror was cracked. It was a perfect metaphor for my life: Don't look back.
